Day 4 ~ A picture of something you wish you could forget.

 A picture of something you wish you could forget.

This is actually been an very enlightening decision for me to do 30 days of myself.  Good experience.

Here is a picture of something I wish I could forget:

Okay, so it's hard to get a picture of this.  I wish I could forget all of the times I have disappointed and hurt people in my lifetime.  I don't think there is anything harder than dealing with that pain. Maybe, I don't want to forget that because after all those times have all been learning experiences for me.  Part of that learning has come from realizing that I can't fix everything, there are words I can't back, and actions I can't relive.  But...knowing the hurt that I caused has led me to decide that there are some things I will never do again.

To those of you who fall in this list, people who I have hurt or disappointed - I sincerely apologize.  I am sorry that my growth and learning had to come at your expense.  Please know that I am trying hard to not make your suffering in vain. Thank you for helping me to be a better person.

Have a good night.

Day 3 ~ A picture of the cast from your favorite show.

This one was funny. Here is a fact that you might know about me. I don't watch TV. Pretty much never. This causes great entertainment for some of my friends because they will name drop a famous actor and I am usually completely clueless as to who they are talking about. I also did not grow up watching TV. Most of the time this is a huge blessing in my life.

So because I don't have a better answer, one show that I have actually watched (Thanks to them being on DVD) and I think I may even own (not really sure because everything I own is in storage...still...)due to inheritance of the DVD's is M.A.S.H

My favorite was probably Radar.  He was an innocent guy who turns red a lot, kind of reminds me of me a little bit!  

Day 2 ~ A picture of something you want to do before you die.

Okay, this one was harder than I thought it would be:

I always thought I wanted to do this:

But I am really not sure who I am trying to kid with that.  Truth is: I am a chicken and I hate high places, and I really don't think I could fall out of a perfectly good airplane.  Just don't think I could make that one happen.

What I really want to do before I die is this:

Before I die, I want to be a Mom.  

I realize that other things have to come first, but there you have it!  

PS - please don't think this is turning into a desperate "Woe is me" blog.  I know that someday I will have this blessing, and while I am waiting I am still enjoying life. 

Day 1

So I decided to steal something from my little sister Stef, that I think is totally fun. So for 30 days I get to document things about me. (Since no one reads this anyway, and eventually I will turn this into a book working for my journal)

Day 1:A picture of yourself with fifteen facts.

I HATE pictures of myself
since the best most recent picture I have of me is below I will forgo the picture on this one.

Fifteen Facts:

1. I come from a family of 10 kids. I love it and feel bad for people who don't have very many siblings.

2. I have over 100 first cousins!  Wish I could keep in touch with them all...well most of them.  Just Kidding!

3. I have run 1 marathon in my life and hoping I can soon say that I have ran 2!

4. I don't like change.

5. I don't handle taking medicine very well, it makes me really crazy! (See my first post from January 2011)  I
do and say things that I would not normally do.

6.  When I was a teenager I wanted to start a school for Bums...I thought it would be a great source of income.  My plan was to teach them how to be a good bum and then charge them 10% of their income for a month.

7. I LOVE working with teenagers.   I think they could be the greatest group of people in the world.

8. I am not domestic in any way.  I can't cook, sew, make cute crafty projects or bake. But I know people who do, and I am not afraid to call them for help.

9. I believe in fairy tales coming true and happily ever after.

10. I believe that anything worth having is worth working for.  Things that come to us easily are usually not fully appreciated.

11. When I grow up I want to be a Mom

12. When I was little I used to pretend among many other things that I was Reba, and I was married to George Strait.

13. I wish that I could be described as a charitable person.

14.  I often have the best of intentions, but rarely follow through.  I like to celebrate when I do!

15. I love Music. Most often my thoughts in my head or my communications are through a song.

Hope you are doing well.

Rustin...

In case you didn't already know...I am one lucky lady. One of the reasons I am so lucky is because I have sweet nephews and nieces.  In February I was privileged to go to my sweet nephew Rusty's baptism.  He is such a sweet little kid (most of the time).  I always feel so honored to be part of these sweet kids life.

Grandpa and Grandma with a few of the best kids in the world...I was so happy to see Colton there

There are not many things that warm my heart like seeing these kids. It brought tears to my eyes as we pulled up to Jer's house and my sweet little Colton came running out of the house to welcome me.  I sure do miss these kids and wish I had more opportunities to spend time with them.

RJL - I am so proud of the choice that you made to get baptized.  I know that Heavenly Father is also very proud of you.  Keep doing what you are supposed to and you will continue to be blessed.

Lisa Mahan… The Great!

My Friend Lisa Mahan, who is absolutely wonderful asked me to help her with her wedding. It was a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed it. It isn’t the easiest planning a wedding for a girl who hates wedding dresses and who doesn’t have her wedding planned out in every detail, but I had a blast! Thanks for letting me help Lisa.

I also helped with her bridal shower, which was basically just a big party. They trusted me enough to make Cafe Rio Salads, (Thanks Amy for the help and the vote of confidence).  Thanks Stacy, Kristi & Holly for helping me.

(Becca, Stacy, LISA, Coral, & Rylie)

Her wedding reception was a lot of fun. We found a cute reception center where the woman in charge was an absolutely wonderful lady. It was fun to work with her, and she made the event perfect!

The Square Cupcakes, made by Carissa from Carissa's Cakes.  They were so yummy and darling! And Carissa is so great to work with.   

Lisa always joked and said she wanted a tie-dye wedding dress… Well WE couldn’t find one so we decided to make her a tie-dye garter instead.

PS… This could be my new hobby. It was actually really fun, and not to messy. If you want instructions on how to do it let me know, it was super super easy.

I feel so very blessed to be part of Lisa & Hondo’s life. They are wonderful people who are great examples to me. I am so happy for them.

Here is a fun pics from after the reception... I am kind of bummed, I got some with Lisa and Hondo in them, but my eyes are closed in all of them.  Typical for me.  

Coral & her little Nib... That's Me.  She requested that I stand next to her during the reception because I made her feel tall.  

Proof that I am short.

Coral, the Niblet, Rylie & My good buddy Wes
